LG has announced an interesting product that will make scanning documents a swipe of the mouse. Literally. LG has developed LSM-100 mouse which integrates scanning functionality. With the built-in Smart Scan button on the mouse, a user just have to press it and swipe across the page to start scanning. The scanned image can then be saved in many file types like PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PDF, XLS and DOC. The mouse also features Optical Character Recognition technology that converts scanned text into an editable Word document.
Another advantage of having scanner functionality in the mouse is that the scanning is not restricted by the are. The mouse can swiped to scan pages to up to A3 in size.
Despite the unique scanning feature, LG is quick to note that the mouse is a high-end mouse with accurate laser sensor, durable and features an ergonomic design.
LG will showcase the Mouse Scanner at IFA 2011.
